The Catholic Encyclopedia, as its name implies, proposes to give its readers full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and doctrine.

Australian National PilgrimageThe National Pilgrimage, ‘In the footsteps of Saint Mary MacKillop’, goes to many places associated with Mary MacKillop’s life and ministry. This is a unique opportunity for participants to absorb some of the aspects of her life and appreciate anew her role as our Australian Saint.

It is a journey with a purpose, and that purpose is to honor God. Pilgrimage has a long history in the true religion.
